<p><strong>Adults have brown heads and wings with white spotting. The chest and abdomen are white with variable brown spotting or barring, also depending on the subspecies. Juvenile owls are similar in appearance, but they lack most of the white spotting above and brown barring below. The juveniles have a buff bar across the upper wing and their breast may be buff-colored rather than white. Burrowing owls of all ages have grayish legs longer than other owls.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Males and females are similar in size and appearance, and display little sexual dimorphism. Females tend to be heavier, but males tend to have longer linear measurements (wing length, tail length, etc.). Adult males appear lighter in color than females because they spend more time outside the burrow during daylight, and their feathers become &#8220;sun-bleached&#8221;. The burrowing owl measures 19–28 cm (7.5–11.0 in) long, spans 50.8–61 cm (20.0–24.0 in) across the wings and weighs 140–240 g (4.9–8.5 oz).<sup class="footnote" id="fnr2"><a href="#fn2">2</a></sup><sup class="footnote" id="fnr3"><a href="#fn3">3</a></sup><sup class="footnote" id="fnr4"><a href="#fn4">4</a></sup> As a size comparison, an average adult is slightly larger than an American robin</strong></p> Larry Trupphttp://www.redbubble.com/people/umpa1tag:www.redbubble.com,2005:ImageWork/121054142014-06-09T21:37:53Z2016-10-08T15:39:20ZFawndling Along

<p><strong>The WRCM (Winnipeg Royal Canadian Mint) is our high-tech, high-volume manufacturing facility. Every single Canadian circulation coin is produced here – literally billions each year. Established in 1976, the Winnipeg plant occupies a 14,864 m2 state-of-the-art facility. Upon completion, it was very clear that this new facility was completely different from the facility in Ottawa. Architect Etienne Gaboury designed a striking sight with its triangular form soaring above the flat prairie. (Note: E. Gaboury was Design Architect; Number Ten Architectural Group was Project Architect.) The RCM facility in Winnipeg started to manufacture coins, and the facility was officially opened in 1976. The Winnipeg branch of the Royal Canadian Mint allowed Ottawa to concentrate solely on collector coins while the Winnipeg mint would produce the entire supply of circulation coins. However the Winnipeg plant produced collector coins too for 2 years from 1998 to 2000…Note: All of the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for the 2010 Winter Olmypics were made here in Winnipeg</strong></p>

<p>The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known as the Virginia deer or simply as the whitetail, is a medium-sized deer native to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America as far south as Peru. It has also been introduced to New Zealand and some countries in Europe, such as Finland, Czech Republic, and Serbia. In the Americas, it is the most widely distributed wild ungulate.</p>
<p>In North America, the species is widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains, but elsewhere, it is mostly replaced by the black-tailed or mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). In western North America, it is found in aspen parklands and deciduous river bottomlands within the central and northern Great Plains, and in mixed deciduous riparian corridors, river valley bottomlands, and lower foothills of the northern Rocky Mountain regions from South Dakota and Wyoming to southeastern British Columbia, including the Montana Valley and Foothill grasslands.</p> Larry Trupphttp://www.redbubble.com/people/umpa1tag:www.redbubble.com,2005:ImageWork/106153062013-07-24T23:03:26Z2015-07-15T05:05:53ZFunnel Clouds

<p><strong>Saint Boniface Cathedral is an important architectural feature of Saint Boniface, Manitoba, Canada, especially in the eyes of the Franco-Manitoban community. A priest who later became a bishop, Norbert Provencher, ordered its construction in 1818 in the form of a small log chapel. Thus the first page in the history of Saint Boniface and Saint Boniface Cathedral was written.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For the second time in the history of the parish, on July 22, 1968, the residents of Saint Boniface would lose their beloved cathedral to a raging fire. In 1972, a new cathedral, designed by Étienne Gaboury and Denis Lussier, would be built behind the 1906 façade. It is the principal church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Boniface.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Louis Riel, Ambroise-Dydime Lépine and Pierre La Vérendrye are some notable people buried on the grounds.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Even-toed Ungulates&#8230;14 July 2013</strong></p>
<p>The Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of central Asia. Of the two species of camel, it is by far the rarer.<sup class="footnote" id="fnr2"><a href="#fn2">2</a></sup> The Bactrian camel has two humps on its back, in contrast to the single-humped dromedary camel.<sup class="footnote" id="fnr3"><a href="#fn3">3</a></sup> Its population of two million exists mainly in the domesticated form.<sup class="footnote" id="fnr4"><a href="#fn4">4</a></sup> Some authorities, notably the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), use the binomial name Camelus ferus for the wild Bactrian camel and reserve Camelus bactrianus for the domesticated Bactrian camel.<sup class="footnote" id="fnr1"><a href="#fn1">1</a></sup></p>

<p>The Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is a member of the cormorant family of seabirds. It occurs along inland waterways as well as in coastal areas, and is widely distributed across North America, from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska down to Florida and Mexico. Measuring 70–90 cm (28–35 in) in length, it is an all-black bird which gains a small double crest of black and white feathers in breeding season. It has a bare patch of orange-yellow facial skin. Five subspecies are recognized.</p>
<p>The Double-crested Cormorant is found near rivers, lakes and along the coastline. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving. Its feathers, like those of all cormorants, are not waterproof and it must spend time drying them out after spending time in the water. Once threatened by use of DDT, the numbers of this bird have increased markedly in recent years.</p> Larry Trupphttp://www.redbubble.com/people/umpa1tag:www.redbubble.com,2005:ImageWork/104767402013-06-19T13:28:02Z2015-07-15T05:12:14ZAFLOAT

<p><strong>Adults (40-49 cm long, 250-350 g weight) are mainly black with a red crest and a white line down the sides of the throat. Adult males have a red line from the bill to the throat and red on the front of the crown. In adult females, these are black. They show white on the wings in flight. The only North American birds of similar plumage and size are the Ivory-billed Woodpecker of the Southeastern United States and Cuba, and the related Imperial Woodpecker of Mexico. However, unlike the Pileated, both of those species are extremely rare, if not extinct</strong></p>
<p><strong>Their breeding habitat is forested areas with large trees across Canada, the eastern United States and parts of the Pacific coast. They usually excavate large nests in the cavities of dead trees, and often excavate a new home each year, creating habitat for other large cavity nesters.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This bird is usually a permanent resident. The Pileated Woodpecker also nests in nest boxes about 15 feet off the ground.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Diet<br />These birds mainly eat insects (especially beetle larvae and carpenter ants) as well as fruits, berries and nuts. They often chip out large and roughly rectangular holes in trees while searching out insects.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Behavior<br />The call is a wild laugh, similar to the Northern Flicker. Its drumming can be very loud, often sounding like someone striking a tree with a hammer. This bird favors mature forests, but has adapted to use second-growth stands and heavily wooded parks as well.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pileated Woodpeckers raise their young every year in a hole in the tree. In April the hole made by the male attracts a female for mating and raising their young. Once the brood is raised the Pileated Woodpeckers abandon the hole and will not use it the next year.</strong></p>

I discovered this Great Horned Owl and her baby. The tree is a least 75 feet high&#8230;the mother is facing the camera. Nesting season is in January or February when the males and females hoot to each other. When close they bow to each other, with drooped wings. Mutual bill rubbing and preening also occurs. They do not build a nest of their own but utilize the nests of other birds such as the hawk, crow and heron. Normally, two to four eggs are laid and incubated by the female only for 26-35 days. The great horned owl has a large geographic range. It is found throughout the forests of North, Central, and South America, from the Arctic regions in the North to the Straits of Magellan in the South</strong>&#8230;.Better seen enlarged <strong><a href="http://fineartamerica.com/featured/great-horned-owl-and-baby-larry-trupp.html?newartwork=true">HERE</a></strong></p>

<p><strong>DID YOU KNOW: At sunrise, the faces of most sunflowers are turned towards the east. Over the course of the day, they follow the sun from east to west, while at night they return to an eastward orientation. This motion is performed by motor cells in the pulvinus, a flexible segment of the stem just below the bud. As the bud stage ends, the stem stiffens and the blooming stage is reached.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sunflowers in their blooming stage lose their heliotropic capacity. The stem becomes “frozen”, typically in an eastward orientation.The stem and leaves lose their green color.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The wild sunflower typically does not turn toward the sun; its flowering heads may face many directions when mature. However, the leaves typically exhibit some heliotropism.</strong></p>

Better seen enlarged <strong><a href="http://fineartamerica.com/featured/12-sided-barn-larry-trupp.html">HERE</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Today this 105 year old building site is on private land owned by the Bruce Family. This iconic round barn was initially built in 1907 by Mr. R.Hill, who came to the Belle Plains District from Iowa, USA. The Round barn was a 12 sided structure reaching 65 feet in height, and 60 feet in diameter, constructed by fir framing and cedar siding. The original design included 20 horse stalls along the perimeter, a central feeding and hay lift system on a concrete floor. This barn is quite unique, as the Yellowhead Trail crosses through the land, and it is now the last one standing in Manitoba. The cupola that capped the roof can be reached by the spiral stairs inside, that reaches the top. From here you could see for miles from this vantage point. The cupola was victim to a tornado in 1922, which sliced the cupola off&#8230;It has since been reattached. The present owners use the barn to feed their Aberdeen Angus cattle&#8230;.Info gleaned from the Central Plains Herald Leader.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The moose is the largest living member of the deer family. which is found in the boreal forests of the new and old world, (where it is known as the elk). Originating in Asia, it migrated into North America over the Bering Land Bridge, along with man and many other animals, during the Pleistocene Era.<br />This ungainly looking relic of the Ice Age, is admirably adapted for survival in the land of conifers and lakes. Carried on giraffe-like legs, the moose can reach three meters high for nourishing twigs, and move effortlessly over the brush, muskeg, water and snow. Their senses of smell and hearing are acute, in this forest edge herbivore, while vision is less important in the animals continual surveillance of the environment for predators, particularly when man and wolves are nearby.</strong></p> Larry Trupphttp://www.redbubble.com/people/umpa1tag:www.redbubble.com,2005:ImageWork/96980722012-12-05T19:14:38Z2015-07-15T21:35:10ZEnglish Gardens (Winter View)

<p><strong>The Lanner Falcon is a native of all of Africa and the southern parts of Italy, Sicily, Greece and Asia Minor. It is a large falcon, at 43–50 cm length with a wingspan of 95–105 cm. European Lanner Falcons (Falco biarmicus feldeggi, also called Feldegg&#8217;s Falcon) have slate grey or brown-grey upperparts; most African subspecies are a paler blue grey above. The breast is streaked in northern birds, resembling greyish Saker Falcons, but the Lanner has a reddish back to the head. Sexes are similar, but the browner young birds resemble Saker Falcons even more. However, Sakers have a lighter top of the head and less clear head-side patterns. The Lanner&#8217;s call is a harsh &#8220;wray-e&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Lanner Falcon is a fast-flying bird and is well designed for catching birds up to the size of a Guinea Fowl, and bats, especially the larger fruit bats.<br />When prey of this kind is scarce, ground living mammals and lizards are taken. It will also gorge on locusts and flying termites when they are swarming.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The pronghorn (Antiocapra Americana) the last surviving species of its family, is only found in Western North America. Both males and females have horns with a bony core surrounded by horny sheath. Males have slightly more ornate horns. These horns, which are shed annually are different from the bony antlers of deer, caribou and moose, and the non-shedding horns of goats, sheep, cattle, bison and musk ox. Pronghorn browse in groups, and sometimes in large herds. They are wary of predators. Farms, roads and fences have partionted and replaced original habitat.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The Meerkat….Suricata suricata Family – Mongooses (Viverridae) Range – Dry grassland (often hard or stony ground) in southern Africa</strong></p>
<p><strong>Diet – Insects, spiders and other small animals, eggs and bulbs.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Status – Secure. Notes – The meerkat is a favorite display animal because it demonstrates a high level of social and other interesting behaviors. Members of a group take turns standing guard in a characteristic standing pose on high ground, such as a termite nest or rock. Active during the day, the animal enjoys stretching out and basking in the sun near its burrow ,ever ready to dash below ground on the discovery of a predator approaching on the ground or in the air. A colony averages 15 individuals, which represents several families, and larger females dominate the males. Offspring number 2 to 5 and are born in December after a 77-day gestation. Members communicate with over a dozen kinds of calls, and with scent from anal glands. Meerkats so closely resemble ancestral carnivores that their teeth and bones are scarcely distinguishable from fossils 50 million years old. The family is placed between the cats and weasels</strong></p> Larry Trupphttp://www.redbubble.com/people/umpa1tag:www.redbubble.com,2005:CalendarWork/95115372012-10-25T19:02:05Z2012-11-23T15:45:25ZAutumn in Manitoba

<p><strong>Originating in Mongolia, Przewalski horses are smaller than most domestic horses and weigh approximately 440 to 750 pounds. Standing 48 &#8211; 56 inches high, they have stocky bodies, upright manes, and a dark srtipe down their backs. The last surviving subspecies of the wild horse, they were once declared extinct until being reassessed in 2008 after successful reintroductions into the wild. Now, there are nearly 1,500 living in zoos and breeeding facilities, and another 400 can be found in the wild.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Przewalski horses are part of the Species Survival Program facilitated by the Association of Zoos &amp; Aquriams (AZA). The program collates the collections of horses of horses in NA and then matches pairs to ensure the most genetics possible when breeding.

<p><strong>The World As We See It , or as we missed it&#8230;14 October 2012</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tarantulas (as the term is used in North America) comprise a group of often hairy and very large arachnids belonging to the family Theraphosidae, of which approximately 900 species have been identified.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Some genera of tarantulas hunt prey primarily in trees; others hunt on or near the ground. All tarantulas can produce silk—while arboreal species will typically reside in a silken &#8220;tube tent&#8221;, terrestrial species will line their burrows with silk to stabilize the burrow wall and facilitate climbing up and down. Tarantulas mainly eat insects and other arthropods, using ambush as their primary method of prey capture. The biggest tarantulas can kill animals as large as lizards, mice, birds and small snakes. They can be found in the south and western parts of the United States, Central America, and throughout South America. Tarantulas can also be found throughout Africa, large parts of Asia and all over Australia. In Europe, there are some species in Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, and in Cyprus. Most tarantulas are harmless to humans, and some species are popular in the exotic pet trade. All tarantulas are venomous, but only some species have venom that, while not known to have ever produced human fatalities, can produce extreme discomfort over a period of several days.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Like all arthropods, the tarantula is an invertebrate that relies on an exoskeleton for muscular support. A tarantula’s body consists of two main parts, the prosoma (cephalothorax) and the opisthosoma (abdomen). The prosoma and opisthosoma are connected by the pedicle, or what is often called the pregenital somite. This waist-like connecting piece is actually part of the prosoma and allows the opisthosoma to move in a wide range of motion relative to the prosoma.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The sizes range from as small as a fingernail to as big as a dinner plate. Depending on the species, the body length of tarantulas ranges from 2.5 to 10 centimetres (1 to 4 in), with 8–30-centimetre (3–12 in) leg spans. Leg span is determined by measuring from the tip of the back leg to the tip of the front leg on the opposite side. The largest species of tarantula can weigh over 85 grams (3 oz). The largest of all, the goliath birdeater (Theraphosa blondi) from Venezuela and Brazil, has been reported to have a weight of 150 grams (5.3 oz) and a leg-span of up to 30 centimetres (12 in), males being the longer and females greater in girth</strong></p> Larry Trupphttp://www.redbubble.com/people/umpa1tag:www.redbubble.com,2005:ImageWork/94533262012-10-12T01:18:29Z2015-07-16T13:31:58ZDock Reflections

Almost 2800 square kilometres of protected wilderness parkland, characterizes this Provincial Park located in Eastern Manitoba, Canada. Many Hiking trails, canoe routes, cross-country ski trails, snow mobile trails and Canadian Shield rock everywhere are what makes the Whiteshell Provincial Park a destination location.</strong></p>

<p><strong>This Winnipeg Landmark is a Salisbury House Restaurant built right on the Esplanade Riel, a walking bridge connecting the downtown area with the eastern suburb of St. Boniface. This restaurant is locally known as the “SALS”…</strong></p>
<p><strong>It frequently attracts visitors, young and old and is widely considered a Winnipeg landmark. The restaurant chain was initially founded in Downtown Winnipeg in 1931 by Ralph Erwin and was named for the Salisbury steak. Erwin, who disliked the name hamburger, named his burger a “NIP” (which he considered was a nip of Salisbury steak). There are now 20 Salisbury Houses in Winnipeg and the surrounding area.</strong><br /><strong>They are owned by a group of local investors, among whom is the musician BURTON CUMMINGS (born December 31, 1947) is a Canadian musician and songwriter. A gifted showman, he was the lead singer for the Canadian rock band The Guess Who.</strong></p>
<p><strong>During his 10 years in The Guess Who, from 1965 to 1975, he sang and wrote or co-wrote many well known songs including “American Woman,” “No Time,” “Share the Land,” “Hand Me Down World,” “Undun,” “Laughing,” “No Sugar Tonight,” and “These Eyes.”</strong></p> Larry Trupphttp://www.redbubble.com/people/umpa1tag:www.redbubble.com,2005:ImageWork/93182482012-09-06T16:58:49Z2015-07-16T18:47:50ZCaught Resting!!!
